Caustic Season 7 Changes are bad.

To be honest, all I see when people ask for Caustic buffs are players who would like his gas to insta-kill. Now a nerf is being made due to popular criticism, and then suddenly he's dead.

Caustic was buffed to be more team friendly already, and even then people continued to demand buffs to him. And that has shown me that people want Caustic to deny an area without any possibility of getting through. They want their gas to act like an absolute sight-taking wall that only your team can look through. They want their gas to screw over people entirely. Really, does that sound like balance to you? Imagine Wattson's electric fence would only allow their team mates to look through it. Imagine if Bangalore's smoke would completely obstruct the sight except for your team. Sounds balanced to me.

Really, people have their opinions and that's okay. And this is one opinion I don't agree with.

@Pallo420
Gas still slows.
<<< negligible, situational, like before
Caustic still sees opponents highlighted
<<< useful, like before
Gas does more damage
<<< negligible, like before
Opponents can now see you camping in the corner lol
<<< basically like before, once you moved back 1 meter after taking those major 1 tick damages

Now though, contrarily to before, there's literally no reason to avoid a gas trap in a fight since you can literally stand on it and still be able to function completely, hitting that huge caustic hitbox around the said trap.

Make the trap an actual deployable removing its one-hit-break base, and giving knockdown shield hitpoints to the sack. This way at least the flatulent sack of * that deployed it has some actual tactical use for such a worthless ability.

Caustic is now useless as a legend heck loba is now better than him ans she is garbage 

Hugely disgusted with the nerf to caustic. Makes it even harder to be an aggro player when enemies dont get remotely slowed by gas, no blur. I agree your teammates should not be affected by your gas. But dam, we run in pop our gas, players using any aim assist (aimbot) dropping canisters before they even deploy, and they run right through gas with no problem. So what it hits for 6-9, that Capital Fffffing hilarious, 6-9 lolololol. Its fricking weak. They camp in the gas now, just moving in and downing teammates. Its becoming shamefully useless except to tie up a door so you can keep running. Especially the vast areas and fields in new map. Horizon just pops her lift and magic out of gas range, octane throws jump pad, and magic out of range. All enemies just literally run wider circles and gas cant do shhhht. Caustic was already a hard Main, now it's even harder. The amount of aimbot used in this game make him a sponge, and large hit box, it's just like a bullet sponge with no way to avoid because we are stuck in large fricking areas. The traps literally suck and dont hold off anyone or protect team everyone is literally running right through especially purple, gold or red shields it's become literally laughable. What a shame. They need to change it back, just make it so team doesnt get gassed by traps. What a shame Respawn!!

PS...

I literally watched a red shield opponent come into my gas traps, crouch walk right in and kill team mate. The traps do nothing except make characters cough and emote receiving damage, lol 6 - 9 lolol rofl, so lame. Lol, this is a disgusting nerf to caustic. 

I think Respawn backed themselves into a corner here. They should revert Caustic’s traps or at least buff them, but the problem arises when we switch maps. Reverted Caustic might be too strong or something in KC or WE.
